Hi, Christian from Switzerland here.
Just got my 2016 RS since 2 weeks and i love it.
Need to get used to it, but it puts a smile on my face every time i drive. 🙂
I need to get it serviced in a month, but i cant find anything about maintenance schedule / time / kilometers, etc
All i know is that service is once a year or 20’000 km.I do many things myself and the garage where i go is no Ford… Plus the car is out of warranty.
So i hope to find the maintenance plan here somewhere.
Cheers!
My experience after 6 years of ownership. These are the Ford recommended timelines in my area
- Normal usage: OIL every 15000 KM or 12 months, whichever comes first.
- Track usage more frequent and can go down to 3000 km if pushed moderately.
- Brake Fluid – every 2 years under normal conditions. Track usage might require a sync with the pads and rotors.
- 4WD – trackdays every 2 days if driven hard. Normal usage no regular change interval as this is lifetime. I changed it 3 times since I have the car as I also track it.
- Gearbox – depends on the applicablitiy of the car. Track usage will dicate a more frequent interval.
- Sparkplugs every 60K under normal conditions. If tune and trackdays every 30k.
Nitrous Blue Dyno Tuned @ 600 NM | Wagner Tuning – Competition IC | REVO Carbon CAI |
HJS 200 Cell Sportkat | Remus Cat-back | SS Black Chrome Tailpipes
Fischer-Hydraulik SS Brake Lines | Endless RF 650 Brake Fluid | Endless ME20 Pads F+R (squeak king)
Rotors: TSP XG150 – DBA 5000 T3 SLOT | DBA 4000 T3 SLOT | Suspension: MR – KW Clubsport 2 way with H&R ARB F+R
Thanks for the details.
That’s pretty much what i expected.
This means i will change the spark plugs at next service.
I will not track the car and drive about 13kkm a year. (by the way, the car has now 78’000 km)Did you already serviced the gearbox’s oil?
Also power distribution unit?I was thinking to do the gearbox on mine as sometimes shifts are less smooth..
